The Huskies haven't sat idly by through all of this. They have aggressively, but unsuccessfully pursued entry into the ACC. They have checked into a number of other options, but, as of today, the conference realignment train has departed and UConn is stranded in a decimated Big East.

Let's take a lightning-fast look at the pros and cons of every conference where the Huskies could land.

Staying in the "Old Big East"

The Big East has tried to stay alive by raiding the Conference USA by inviting Central Florida, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Tulane. Talk about a mixed bag of schools that don't seem to go together at all.

Pros: The Huskies could be a hoops dynasty.

Massive frequent flyer miles for everyone.

Get to play against Larry Brown (SMU head coach) for a year or two before he goes back into retirement.

Cons: Will there be a conference to stay in?

Cincinnati is a good program, but South Florida doesn't provide much quality in terms of a remaining school.
